DIVYANK TURAKHIA

Billionaire entrepreneur

UAE resident Turakhia is credited with founding a tech company aged just 16 alongside his 18-year-old brother Bhavin. That business was the start of a partnership that over the next two decades would become technology group Directi, which has an enterprise value of $1.4bn, according to its website. In August 2016 the group sold its advertiser products business Media.net to a consortium of Chinese investors for $900m - the two had an estimated net worth of $1.3bn that same year. Their next focus appears to be Flock, a collaboration platform for businesses, which they hope to make into a part-paid service.
